Shaw's Social Studies

My Advanced Content classes have started the American Revolution. 3rd period should be preparing for debates Friday. 4th & 6th periods will be taking notes from power point presentations to keep in their notesbooks for after Thanksgiving.

All classes saw a video on slavery & worked on some readings with critcal thinking responses. 5th & 7th will work on a vocabulary project to start their unit on the American Revoution.

All students would benefit from reading ahead during the Thanksgiving break. Chapter 5 contains the information we will be starting after the break.

Enjoy your time off with family and friends. I am thankful for your sutdents!

Today, we finished our unit on the founding of Georgia. Students should be studying for the test that will be given tomorrow and Friday.

3rd, 5th and 7th periods will be tested tomorrow and 4th and 6th Friday. We reviewed in class today and students have, in addition to the notes and classwork in their notebooks, a study guide to help them prepare. I also suggested that they reread the sections of Chapters 4 and 5 that deal with our unit. I will be having a study session both tomorrow and Friday at 8:15 .

Forgive me for the blog being written the night before the test, but I am a "new" blogger and am still learning how to navigate this great communication tool. Now that I am "up and running" , it will be updated weekly.

Our next unit will be the American Revolution so stay tuned for some challenging activities that will engage and reach all my learners!
